Unmistakably Strong, Undeniably Fierce.

Celebrating the strength and resilience of the Indigenous women from Spinifex Hill Studio.

Unwavering is a celebration of the strength and fierceness of Aboriginal women residing in the Pilbara region. Aboriginal art centres play a pivotal role in providing Mob with a safe place, where we can express ourselves without judgment, creating an environment for generational exchange, learning and healing. Although our lives may be riddled with heaviness, pain, trauma and grief, we as artists choose to express and heal ourselves from these harsh realities with a gentle, tender and softer palette.

FORM and Spinifex Hill Studio

From its beginnings in 2008 as a small group painting in temporary spaces, Spinifex Hill Studio on Kariyarra Country in South Hedland has evolved into one of Western Australia’s most dynamic Aboriginal and Islander art producing centres. It’s unique in Australia as an urban-based, culturally neutral art centre representing First Nations artists from numerous cultural backgrounds. There is no dominant ‘house style’, rather the Studio supports an eclectic range of art practices in recognition of the diversity of First Nations experience.

The Studio is a member of the Indigenous Art Code, and of the Aboriginal Arts Centre Hub of Western Australia (AACHWA) and participates in, and contributes to, a national sector of over 99 Aboriginal Art Centres. In collaboration with FORM, the Studio’s staff and Aboriginal Council are gradually working towards independence and a future that is entirely governed by the artists and local leaders in service of the community.
